1. I'm not litigious so I won't be suing you but I would be grateful if you could rearrange the wording of your title so that it does not look like Ahoy-Boats.

2. Bill what do you think about the Albin Vega 27 ?

3. if you have the desire to go and play extensively out on the Deep Blue Waters people, remember this: there is only ONE Kraken that will take you OUT, and bring you HOME AGAIN…..

   THANK YOU Kraken for doing it RIGHT.

4. What do you think of a CONTEST 32CC or a CONTEST 35 aft cockpit 1982

5. Nicely put , I am a huge "understander" of your boats, the reasons why you have done what goes into your boats, but even more, the honesty with the way you market what you have.
   As far as an outstanding, no compromise yacht built to do as you state it will. And a marketing strategy that is straight up, straight up. That is what this whole industry is lacking, World bloody wide. And this is coming from an old boat builder/business owner. Well done good sir's.

6. What is the thickness of the hull in Kraken 50? The thickest end the least ? Thanks!

7. And don’t forget Island Packet built in America and still bomb proof in the models they’re building today. Full integrated keel with protected rudder. And only 5 foot draft. Soooo sail the Florida Keys and Bahama islands. Brand new 42 for $700,000. Roughly

8. Are Rustlers too obvious to mention?

9. Thanks for this! I like the idea of a sub-40 kraken. Something the misses can easily manage in the event of injuries. We also have the rustler 36, which is a wonderful boat as well. You can find older under 100k. I think 36 is a fantastic size, there are plenty of space to fit everything for a couple.

10. If you cant afford Kraken 50 ..go for Island Packets(New & old)…closest to what kraken has.

11. Anyone got experience with Fantasi 37 sailboat.Suited for blue water sailing?

12. Thanks going into it – espacally since kraken is obviously the absolute opposite of the spectrum and if you would round to a full percent basicly nobody can affort them^^

13. Thats why i bought a nicholson 32 from 1965

14. Dick mentioned HR, but he said an old one. What year did they start losing the key ingredients?

15. yeah I love the diea of a Kracken 44 I think is a great size! I just wish I could afford one! I am looking at a Vagabond 47 in amazing condition with great upgrades so I am hoping that will serve my purposes! Curious if the Dicks' have any opinions on the Vagabons!

16. Hi Dick, I recently watched your video where you visited Fair Isles. You make no mention of the HCs deck stepped mast. In this video you give Fair Isles as an example of a blue water boat. My last boat was an Alberg 37 hill no. 7 but I love the HCs. I lost a back stay on my Alberg in about 35 knots. Was able to compensate with the topping lift and main halyard. We were fine. If the mast would have been deck stepped I wonder what the outcome. I could say it was my fault but there was no sign of a problem and the stay stripped and pulled right out of the turnbuckle so it was actually the turnbuckle that failed. I have been getting the itch but at 67 I would probably only sail the Caribbean which I have done before as far South as St. Lucia. Would the deck step mast disqualify the HCs? Thank you for your thoughts.

17. Only a millionaire can afford a Kraken ! Not a peasant like myself !

18. I’ve looked into Hylas and I can’t see any with integral keels. They all seem to be bolt on.

19. I've just bought an Endurance 37'. She's great, barely used and complete with SS fuel and water tanks. Internal helm. Was impounded for years in a drugs bust!!

20. Definitely appreciate people putting years of knowledge out there. Thanks

21. What about Sadler? It's an evolution of the Contessa

22. good info for the many who can afford premium.

23. Sadler, S+S 34, 80's Moody etc etc

24. Great video great chat
    You mentioned a lot of good sailboats
    What do you think of the Najad 390
    1994
    Great show

25. I owned a Hans Christian 48T, the first aft cockpit. Sailed over a 100,00 miles on her. Perfect boat. Had her for 32 years. Never a problem with the construction.

26. Where you able to single hand your Tayana 58 well? Looking at buying one soon.

27. I have to admit, I'm new to this sailing lark and currently looking for something to take me around the warmer parts of the planet, but I'm wondering, are the world's oceans littered with upside down bolt-on-keel boats bobbing around without their keels (and/or rudders)?

    What is the real risk of coming a cropper?

    I've been thinking Island Packet purely due to the risk of grounding as a sailing halfwit, but I do like the idea of a massive cockpit to sleaze around in just off some tropical beach bar. Living on an IP, or any other tiny cockpit blue water boat when at a cruising ground sounds miserable.

    Maybe potter about coastally in a cruising ground with a big cockpit, then sell it and buy another massive cockpit on the other side of each ocean.

    Though, I'd also like to try an ocean crossing at least once.

    Doesn't Starlink and OpenAI basically make every ocean crossing a walk in the park these days?

    I've really no idea.

28. What does Dick think of Cape Dory and Shannon yachts for blue water?

29. how about a transpac 49?

30. Strong opinions about varios matters such as rudder design, integral keels etc. Are they based on some serious investigations or what. If so please give me some reference.

31. Would an older Morgan Out Island 41, or something like an Alberg 37 or Cape Dory 36 work?

    Full integral keels and keel-hung rudders across the board, fairly heavy for their size, and heavy lay-up.

    Yeah, I'm definitely one of the landlocked poor's trying to figure out how to see the world by sail 😅🤙
